Vintage ceramic polar bear refrigerator deodorizer and potpourri holder, likely dating to the 1980s. The whimsical reclining polar bear features a glossy white glaze, hand-painted green sunglasses, pink ear accents, and a smiling black snout.

Multiple vent holes along the body allow the figure to be filled with baking soda for use as a refrigerator odor absorber or with potpourri for use as a decorative air freshener. These novelty ceramic pieces were popular craft and household accessories during the period.
